One of the most pleasant incidents thai
occurred during the Teachers Institute al
Williamson was the presentation sof
beautiful silver cup to our excellent
School Commissioner, Col. Clinkscales
from The teachers of An derson Comfy
|sTha presentation was made last Thursday
by Mr.. q. O. Burriss, in behalf of the
teachers in a. very appropriate little
speech, Ito which Col. Uinkscales respond.
ed in very heSpy manner. This is 9
high compliment to Col. Clinkscaless, and
the teachers could not have selected 9
more suitable way in which to express
their esteem and good will for him. The
Colonel highly appreciates the gift.
Mr.. D. Fl. Green, Of Pendleton Town
ship, has left at our Office. d nice treat and
at the same time q curiosity. It's q pair
of, twin melons Of the cantaloupe variety.
Mr.. Green is one of the, most successful
melon growers of the County. This
Spring he planted, in his watermelon
patch two cantaloupe seed. Justas the
vine was ready to run he cut; it off with
his knife. 1t soon grew out again and
produced two very large melons, the skin
of which resembles the cantaloupe, but in
size and flavor they resemble the largest
musk-melon. Mr.. Green says he can't
account for this strange growth, unless it
was caused by cutting the vine.

The Messrs. Dean, who have just COM
pleted large steam flour and grist mill
at Deans, ou the 8. v. r. r., are now
ready for the public patronage. They are
using the latest improved mill machin-
cry, and are turning out some very fine
flour. These gentlemen h"ve sent us a
sample sack, ground from home. raised
wheat, which is certainly very fine.
Some Of our people are prejudiced against
steam mills, and contend that such mills
can't make good -four or meal, but that
is mistaken idea, for nearly all the flour
we get from the West is ground by steam
mills. Messrs. Dean have displayed con-
siderable enterprise in erecting their mill,
and we hope they will be rewarded by O
liberal patronage from the public.
Greenwood had big day on Wednes-
day, goth inst, large crowds being pres
ent from various sections Of the State,
and many more would have been present,
but the excursion trains did not have the
capacity to carry them. Anderson was
represented by the Young America Cor,
net Band, which furnished music for the
day, and by number of our citizens.
Several of Anderson County's young men
participated in the Tournament, all of
whom did some fine riding, and one of
them, Mr.. L. R. Tucker, winning the
second prize. Mr.. Gaines, of Edge6eld,
won the first prize, and crowned Miss

Peter Major, worthy and hard-work-
ing young colored man of this oity, died
rather suddenly last Saturday afternoon.
He had been troubled for day or two
with dysentery, but was getting along
very well until Saturday afternoon, when
he was attacked with severe pain or
cramp in his bowels, which soon caused
his death. Peter was member of the
Rough and Ready Fire Company, and as
a mark of respect the Company attended
his funeral in uniform Sunday afternoon
and escorted his remains to the grave.
Since the above was put in type, We learn
that there is some suspicion as to the
Cdusc VI = cGcf uOotp3 ou0 tlaS 0AeOA AAooli
Coroner Nance will disinter the remains
for the purpose Of holding post psortem.
It seems that Peter and his brother-in-
law, John Harris, had fight on the night
preceding the formers death, and that the
latter struck him in the stomach with q
rock. Harris has been lodged in Jail to
await the investigation.
